9/10 Sox (Red) @ Sox (White) 8:10 EDT

[redsoxrules]

Safe. Brutal ump

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wasn't even close. Robo umps on the bases also. Incompetent bunch of A-holes.

[moonslav59]

As bad as it sounds, it might be Santana or bust.

[redsoxrules]

Just don't hit a double play Santana

[moonslav59]

The speedster on second with the tying run!

[moonslav59]

Damn!

 

Another sharply hit out.

[redsoxrules]

This is interesting here to bat Shaw

[moonslav59]

Is PH'ing for Kike a gut punch, or what?

[moonslav59]

Is this like "Morgan Magic?"

[redsoxrules]

f***, shaw missed 2 cookies

[moonslav59]

Golden chance to gain on everyone.

 

DAMN!

[moonslav59]

f***, shaw missed 2 cookies

 

Straight down the pike.

[TylerD]

That sucked

 

We’ll see you tomorrow.

[moonslav59]

Looks like SEA & OAK gain on everyone, if their leads hold.

[d-money]

Another s***** game with all these other teams losing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No reason at all to have any optimism regarding not getting swept unless Tony decides to give half his team a day off tomorrow.

The White Sox magic number is now 12. The SOX magic numbers ended back in late July. Edited September 11, 2021 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Maybe if the league disallowed batters from wearing armor at the plate, the batters might make more of an effort to avoid getting hit.

 

There would also be more broken elbows and players on the DL, which is really what we go to the park to see.

You make this sound as though the Chisox are vastly superior when in fact they are 2 games up on the Sox, who are in a much tougher division. The Chisox have much better pitching, which barely showed yesterday. If Iglesias doesn't make that error, his 17th this season and twice as many as Bogaerts, it's 3-3 going to extra innings.

 

Houck left that slider up against Abreu with his 29 dingers and 107 rbi's--so one more dinger and 3 more rbi's.

 

Sox bullpen--D Hernandez, Feliz, Ottavino, Brasier, and Taylor--went 4.1 scoreless innings.

 

Kike, Schwarber, Renfroe, and Devers all went hitless yesterday. Some of that was excellent Chisox pitching, but not all.

 

Devers gigantic wad of chewing tobacco which he masticates like an addict is abundant evidence he is feeling the pressure--.740 OPS in August and so far .736 in September. My guess is that the entire lineup is feeling the heat, especially since, in addition to hitting, they also compose one of the worst defenses in the MLB.

No, the White Sox are not vastly superior to the SOX. My point was back around late July the SOX were in 1st place and 24 games over .500. Based on their below average starting pitching and below average defense, I couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation of how this could be, so I just referred to it as magic.

Most don't believe in magic, but I'll definitely admit, as has been proven, magic is not sustainable.

 

I just love being able to employ the word 'sustainable.'
